It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not
count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control
register and SVM is disabled in EFER.
This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit
in the performance counter control register when SVM is not
enabled.
The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the
user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is
disabled the counter should not run at all and the
not-counting is the intended behaviour.

Two fixes to fix a memory corruption bug when WC pages never get
converted back to WB but end up being recycled in the general memory
pool as WC.
There is a better way of fixing this, but there is not enough time to do
the full benchmarking to pick one of the right options - so picking the
one that favors stability for right now.

static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

141168c36cde ("x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs
from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'") removed a bunch of CONFIG_SMP ifdefs
around code touching struct cpuinfo_x86 members but also caused

Restore the #ifdef in threshold_create_bank() which creates

There's a better patch series being worked on by Kevin Winchester
which will solve this in a cleaner fashion, but that series is
too ambitious for v3.3 merging - so we first queue up this trivial
fix and then do the rest for v3.4.

We have a few problems when returning to userspace. This is a
quick set of fixes for 3.3, I'll look into a more comprehensive
rework for 3.4. This fixes:
- We kept interrupts soft-disabled when schedule'ing or calling
do_signal when returning to userspace as a result of a hardware
interrupt.
- Rename do_signal to do_notify_resume like all other archs (and
do_signal_pending back to do_signal, which it was before Roland
changed it).
- Add the missing call to key_replace_session_keyring() to
do_notify_resume().

In commit 54321242afe ("Disable interrupts early in Program Check"), we
switched from enabling to disabling interrupts in program_check_common.
Whereas ENABLE_INTS leaves r3 untouched, if lockdep is enabled DISABLE_INTS
calls into lockdep code and will clobber r3. That means we pass a bogus
struct pt_regs* into program_check_exception() and all hell breaks loose.
So load our regs pointer into r3 after we call DISABLE_INTS.

The 'poll()' system call timeout parameter is supposed to be 'int', not
'long'.
Now, the reason this matters is that right now 32-bit compat mode is
broken on at least x86-64, because the 32-bit code just calls
'sys_poll()' directly on x86-64, and the 32-bit argument will have been
zero-extended, turning a signed 'int' into a large unsigned 'long'
value.
We could just introduce a 'compat_sys_poll()' function for this, and
that may eventually be what we have to do, but since the actual standard
poll() semantics is *supposed* to be 'int', and since at least on x86-64
glibc sign-extends the argument before invocing the system call (so
nobody can actually use a 64-bit timeout value in user space _anyway_,
even in 64-bit binaries), the simpler solution would seem to be to just
fix the definition of the system call to match what it should have been
from the very start.
If it turns out that somebody somehow circumvents the user-level libc
64-bit sign extension and actually uses a large unsigned 64-bit timeout
despite that not being how poll() is supposed to work, we will need to
do the compat_sys_poll() approach.

This patch also (at the request of the list) fixes the fact that
ARM has both LE and BE versions however the audit code was called as if
it was always BE. If audit userspace were to try to interpret the bits
it got from a LE system it would obviously do so incorrectly. Fix this
by using the right arch flag on the right system.

The patch series to re-factor PCI's 'latency timer' setup (re:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131983853831049&w=2) forgot to
remove the ARM specific definition of 'pcibios_max_latency' once such
had been moved into the pci core resulting in ARM related compile
errors -
drivers/built-in.o:(.data+0x230): multiple definition of
`pcibios_max_latency'
arch/arm/common/built-in.o:(.data+0x40c): first defined here
make[1]: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1
In the series, patch 2/16 (commit 168c8619fd8) converted the ARM
specific version of 'pcibios_set_master()' to a non-inlined version.
This was done in preperation for hosting it up into PCI's core, which
was done in patch 10/16 (commit 96c5590058d) of the series (and
where the removal of ARM's 'pcibios_max_latency' was overlooked).

not initialised
Current ARM local timer code registers CPUFREQ notifiers even in case
the twd_timer_setup() isn't called. That seems to be wrong and
would eventually lead to kernel crash on the CPU frequency transitions
on the SOCs where the local timer doesn't exist or broken because of
hardware BUG. Fix it by testing twd_evt and *__this_cpu_ptr(twd_evt).
The issue was observed with v3.3-rc3 and building an OMAP2+ kernel
on OMAP3 SOC which doesn't have TWD.

(And define it properly for x86-32, which had its 'current_task'

Bitten by my dislike for modules on the machines I use, and the fact
that apparently nobody else actually wanted to test the patches I sent
out.
Snif. Nobody else cares.
Anyway, we probably should uninline the 'kernel_fpu_begin()' function
that is what modules actually use and that references this, but this is

Linus noticed that the cmp used to check if the code segment is
__KERNEL_CS or not did not specify a size. Perhaps it does not matter
as H. Peter Anvin noted that user space can not set the bottom two
bits of the %cs register. But it's best not to let the assembly choose
and change things between different versions of gas, but instead just
pick the size.
Four bytes are used to compare the saved code segment against
__KERNEL_CS. Perhaps this might mess up Xen, but we can fix that when
the time comes.
Also I noticed that there was another non-specified cmp that checks
the special stack variable if it is 1 or 0. This too probably doesn't
matter what cmp is used, but this patch uses cmpl just to make it non
ambiguous.

This makes us recognize when we try to restore FPU state that matches
what we already have in the FPU on this CPU, and avoids the restore
entirely if so.
To do this, we add two new data fields:
- a percpu 'fpu_owner_task' variable that gets written any time we
update the "has_fpu" field, and thus acts as a kind of back-pointer
to the task that owns the CPU. The exception is when we save the FPU
state as part of a context switch - if the save can keep the FPU
state around, we leave the 'fpu_owner_task' variable pointing at the
task whose FP state still remains on the CPU.
- a per-thread 'last_cpu' field, that indicates which CPU that thread
used its FPU on last. We update this on every context switch
(writing an invalid CPU number if the last context switch didn't
leave the FPU in a lazily usable state), so we know that *that*
thread has done nothing else with the FPU since.
These two fields together can be used when next switching back to the
task to see if the CPU still matches: if 'fpu_owner_task' matches the
task we are switching to, we know that no other task (or kernel FPU
usage) touched the FPU on this CPU in the meantime, and if the current
CPU number matches the 'last_cpu' field, we know that this thread did no
other FP work on any other CPU, so the FPU state on the CPU must match
what was saved on last context switch.
In that case, we can avoid the 'f[x]rstor' entirely, and just clear the
CR0.TS bit.

This inlines what is usually just a couple of instructions, but more
importantly it also fixes the theoretical error case (can that FPU
restore really ever fail? Maybe we should remove the checking).
We can't start sending signals from within the scheduler, we're much too
deep in the kernel and are holding the runqueue lock etc. So don't
bother even trying.

This makes sure we clear the FPU usage counter for newly created tasks,
just so that we start off in a known state (for example, don't try to
preload the FPU state on the first task switch etc).
It also fixes a thinko in when we increment the fpu_counter at task
switch time, introduced by commit 34ddc81a230b ("i387: re-introduce FPU
state preloading at context switch time"). We should increment the
*new* task fpu_counter, not the old task, and only if we decide to use
that state (whether lazily or preloaded).

Using of PAT to change pages from WB to WC works quite nicely.
Changing it back to WB - not so much. The crux of the matter is
that the code that does this (__page_change_att_set_clr) has only
limited information so when it tries to the change it gets
the "raw" unfiltered information instead of the properly filtered one -
and the "raw" one tell it that PSE bit is on (while infact it
is not). As a result when the PTE is set to be WB from WC, we get
tons of:

along with a detailed description of the problem and solution.
But since that posting has gone nowhere I am proposing
this band-aid solution so that at least users don't get
the page corruption (the pages that are WC don't get changed to WB
and end up being recycled for filesystem or other things causing
mysterious crashes).
The negative impact of this patch is that users of WC flag

to set that flag - so they are going to see performance degradation.

Currently, the NMI handler tests if it is nested by checking the
special variable saved on the stack (set during NMI handling)
and whether the saved stack is the NMI stack as well (to prevent
the race when the variable is set to zero).
But userspace may set their %rsp to any value as long as they do
not derefence it, and it may make it point to the NMI stack,
which will prevent NMIs from triggering while the userspace app
is running. (I tested this, and it is indeed the case)
Add another check to determine nested NMIs by looking at the
saved %cs (code segment register) and making sure that it is the
kernel code segment.

These are the bug fixes that have accumulated since 3.3-rc3 in arm-soc.
The majority of them are regression fixes for stuff that broke during
the merge 3.3 window.
The notable ones are:
* The at91 ata drivers both broke because of an earlier cleanup patch that
some other patches were based on. Jean-Christophe decided to remove
the legacy at91_ide driver and fix the new-style at91-pata driver while
keeping the cleanup patch. I almost rejected the patches for being too
late and too big but in the end decided to accept them because they
fix a regression.
* A patch fixing build breakage from the sysdev-to-device conversion
colliding with other changes touches a number of mach-s3c files.
* b0654037 "ARM: orion: Fix Orion5x GPIO regression from MPP cleanup"
is a mechanical change that unfortunately touches a lot of lines
that should up in the diffstat.

Here are a few more fixes for powerpc. Some are regressions, the rest
is simple/obvious/nasty enough that I deemed it good to go now.
Here's also step one of deprecating legacy iSeries support: we are
removing it from the main defconfig.
Nobody seems to be using it anymore and the code is nasty to maintain,
(involves horrible hacks in various low level areas of the kernel) so we
plan to actually rip it out at some point. For now let's just avoid
building it by default. Stephen will proceed to do the actual removal
later (probably 3.4 or 3.5).

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.
Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to
the %esp issue.

Avoid calling wake_up() from our NMI "bottom halve" from RCU extended
quiescent state in idle. wake_up() has RCU read-side critical sections
but this will be completely ignored by RCU if the cpu is in extended
quiescent state.
Which means that whatever object is being accessed from within the
read-side critical section can be freed concurrently from a different
cpu.
So make sure we leave extended quiescent state before calling wake_up().

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is
pending. In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we
need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process,
and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state. That resets the state to
the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive
user information.
We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is
actually very inconvenient, since it
(a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might
want to lazy avoid restoring later and
(b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where
"__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after
the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value.
Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids
both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually
necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used). It's
simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup.

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so
is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore
code. And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with
both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not
nearly as simple as it should be.
Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie
TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able
to do better. If we are really switching between two processes that
keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case
of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually
be able to do much better than the preloading.
In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran
on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU
has. For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time,
that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the
existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and
makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead.
In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both
CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do
that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have
fewer random places that open-code this situation.
The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any
semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in
this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach
entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses.
Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch
does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its
own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

Touching TS_USEDFPU without touching CR0.TS is confusing, so don't do
it. By moving it into the callers, we always do the TS_USEDFPU next to
the CR0.TS accesses in the source code, and it's much easier to see how
the two go hand in hand.
